Whether you realize it or not, you spend a lot of time with your colleagues. You sit next to them for hours on end every week, chatting in meetings, making small talk by the coffee station and even going out for the occasional drink. No matter if your personalities click or not, there's no denying that they hold an important place in your life. So when it's time to say goodbye, thank you or even happy birthday to your work BFFs, look to this roundup of the best gifts for co-workers.
While presents for co-workers should be appropriate and office-themed (think a gift for a coffee lover, personalized desk sign or a fidget pen to calm their nerves), you can also opt for gag gifts if they're known for having a good sense of humor. But if you're shopping for your boss, choose something more impressive, like artisan bookends featuring female powerhouses like Michelle Obama and the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
And if you're buying in bulk and don't want to spend a fortune on presents, we've included inexpensive picks under $10 and even some unique offerings under $20. We bet you'll be named Employee of the Month thanks to any of these great finds.
